Now would be a great time to purchase snow tires. Get them mounted on some cheap rims and hang them in your garage or basement. Pull them out and use them like snow shoes. Being able to get to and from work more than pays for it. I’ve had a mounted set of Blizzaks for every car I’ve owned since 2010… except the iMiev. Rims for that ride ain’t cheap!
